If Ohio State Had Followed Precedent, Jim Tressel Would Have Been Fired

Precedent: “Since 2006, the NCAA has sanctioned 27 schools for violating bylaw 10.1, which requires coaches and others to be truthful and forthcoming about possible NCAA violations. Of the 12 coaches involved, only one kept his job. The others either resigned or were fired by their schools.” Ohio State terminated relationships with Jim O’Brien and Maurice Clarett after unethical conduct charges. [Dispatch; previously, oh my, what a fraud]

Oh and just because it’s an active thread, remember when I said 18 games wouldn’t happen and it was just a ploy by owners to get the players to fight for something besides money, so if they kept it at 16 games, they could get more financial concessions (basically force the players to keep the status quo).

So does this mean duffy is going to crusade for Tressel’s firing like he did for Rich Rod’s?

In their defense, isn’t SMU basically Texas’ version of Notre Dame?

Hey sportsdork – did you see my comment yesterday about the new George R. R. Martin book? Book 5 comes out in July!

I hope so just for the spectacle that would erupt with the OSU fans on here.

The cover up is worse than the crime. This story isn’t over yet. That lawyer will get disbarred, and Ohio State’s penalty isn’t going to do the trick for the NCAA. He knew about it, he didn’t take the actions required of the legislative body that governs his institution, he signed a paper saying he had no knowledge.
